This is a week to celebrate celebrities! So here's to the joys of fame! The razzle dazzle, and glitz and glam! The grand productions! The screaming crowds! The long lines for autographs! The obsessed fans. The exhausting practice sessions. The bouts of stage fright...

You know what? I think I'll leave all of this to somepony else, and just stay here behind the proverbial curtain. All of this doesn't really sound like the sort of thing an introvert like myself would really enjoy. But to those who do enjoy fame, and/or aspire to it, here's a series of pictures created to celebrate it!

Gallery for Week 204

01. G-DO-29--AnagramNot so much the actual fame but the downfall of said fame. Also an extension of [ATG 226 - Secret] and [ATG 2230 - Pony Feud].
Bonus points to those who can find the weird stuff in the background.Some stories are very sad, but better shared with a comrade. - fetchbeer

02. Speedy526745A pony peeking through a hole in space, just showing off her cute face. - fetchbeer

03. CobralashAlways find a place to sing, whether it's the fall or spring. - fetchbeer

04. Lemon-Bitter-TwistSome posters just deserve to be vandalized, until other punishment can be devised. - fetchbeer

05. pony-xCameras instill a fear in some, and their flashes can make them glum. - fetchbeer

06. Scuri LevensteinSome ponies are known the world over, though they are rarer than a four leafed clover. - fetchbeer

07. Vaser888Famous ones do much more than a single thing, though this one usually seems to sing. - fetchbeer

Yes, I know I told that joke last week. But seriously, how do you ponies not get that!? It's a classic knock kno- *Tomato to the face!*

Well, that was uncalled for. We're here to tell jokes, not to get involved in a food feud. If that's the kind of show you want, you should take a trip to Trottingham. They're always going on about 'the apples and pears' over there. You know, I never did figure out what exactly they mean by that. Somepony once told me that King Sombra likes them, but I never did figure out what that meant, either...

Alright, alright! I'll stop with the knock knock jokes! Jeez, you ponies are throwing around enough vegetables to supply an all-you-can-eat salad buffet. So how about I just open up the gallery and then leave you all to your food feuds. I think I need a vacation. I wonder what the fjords are like this time of year...

Gallery for Week 203

01. Speedy526745Giant greens are hard to eat, but are quite easy to beat. - fetchbeer

02. G-DO-29--AnagramNot so much the actual feud, but a little after (approx. 3 days) when you're still riled up or griked in regret. Also an extension of [ATG 226 - Secret]. Bonus points to those who can piece together the story.Secrets can lead to a broken heart, but maybe your love can restart. - fetchbeer

03. Lemon-Bitter-TwistEven the Flim Flam brothers might learn not to take on the Apple family.... one day.I've never seen a trebuchet so large, it would definitely stop a charge. - fetchbeer

04. pony-xDo you feel lucky? pink!The face that launched a thousand pies, maybe she should learn to compromise. - fetchbeer

... Get it? Orange...? Oh c'mon, ponies! This is the oldesss... Actually, I probably shouldn't finish that sentence. Maud Pie may be in the audience.

Hmm... Well, let's try this one then: Have you heard about Harry's recent move into a new tree house? He moved because his old neighborhood was simply unbearable! Get it? Un'bear'able? ...Because Harry is a b-wha-woah! *falls flat on his face*

Hmm... Maybe I should just stay on all fours instead of doing my routines while standing up on my hind legs. I don't think anypony is getting the 'stand up' comedy joke anyways.

Well, you know what? I think it's time I yielded the stage to some ponies who are much more adept at puns than I seem to be. Here they come now:

Gallery for Week 202

02. G-DO-29--AnagramA bus, in computerland, is whatever the heck connects your various computer parts to other computer parts. A bus, in commuterland, is whatever the heck connects your various commuting locations to other commuting locations. So a computer bus and a commuter bus are basically similar things, but you gotta read to the end of the word to really see the difference.
(Basically, the only pony pun that could be pulled off, the plug got pulled.)Try not to get your homophones confused, or those who fix your stuff will be amused. - fetchbeer

03. Lemon-Bitter-TwistA pony Bun... Try not to hang around giant buns, especially when they weigh several tons. - fetchbeer

Ah well, that was last week's theme anyways. This week's theme was about rocks! Igneous, metamorphic, sedim... wait, this week's theme isn't A Pony With Rocks? But rocks are all that my new friends talk about. Rocks and rock farms and rock candy and rock soup... and crystals, for the occasional change of pace. Meeting new ponies can be a lot of fun, but sometimes they'll talk your ears off about their passions. But then, old friends sometimes do that too.

But if this week's theme isn't A Pony With Rocks, then what is the theme? Perhaps taking a look through the gallery below, and talking to the ponies doing the same, will shed some light on this. And who knows, perhaps you'll make a new friend among all the new ponies you will meet within.

Gallery for Week 201

01. Speedy526745A new friend is always sweet, and now to bond with a nice treat. - fetchbeer

02. G-DO-29--AnagramNot so much the process of meeting new friends, but a little after when you get to know them better. Worst show-and-tell session ever.Toilets are often overlooked, as bathrooms are always overbooked. - fetchbeer

03. Lemon-Bitter-TwistA good time to find a new friend is when your life is flashing before your eyes, especially if they can save you. Some ponies should always watch their step, unless a sudden drop gives them pep. - fetchbeer

04. Scuri LevensteinBest friends because of a love of rocks, at least they don't just love socks. - fetchbeer

05. Vaser888A bird makes a good companion, and one not hindered by a canyon. - fetchbeer

Wait, wrong holiday. Wrong universe, for that matter. But nonetheless, these two holidays do have some things in common. First of all, candy! Lots and lots of candy! And also costumes! Although in this case, the costumes are a fair bit scarier than an elderly guy in a red suit. Now a sinister green thing in a red suit, on the other hoof; that's scary! Especially if he's coming down your chimney. But that's from yet another universe, thankfully. Right?

Right...?

Err, let's take our minds off of these scary thoughts by seeing what costumes everypony is wearing this Nightmare Night, shall we?

Gallery for Week 200

01. Goggle SparksWhere in the world could this pony be? They seem to be predisposed to flee. - fetchbeer

02. Speedy526745Getting in the shell might cause some pain, but it will protect you from the rain. - fetchbeer

03. CobralashThis costume is quite well grounded, and someone is certain to be astounded. - fetchbeer

05. G-DO-29--AnagramObligatory schism between the candy fetchers and the candy distributors. Plus, if you're given a question whose answers are either A or B but given options C and D to choose from, what answer do you pick?This comment is made every year, but it just meets a sneer. - fetcbeer

06. HalflingPonyThere’s Nothing Under Your Bed!Do you trust what your parents say, or is there a monster to cause dismay? - fetchbeer

07. Vaser888This costume is sure to cause dismay, though she's just here to play. - fetchbeer
